Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Identify whether the joint is a movement joint that should be sealed and correct active leaks, loose tile, or failed substrate before cosmetic recaulk work.
Step 2
Remove all old sealant without gouging the tub, shower pan, tile, or waterproofing membrane.
Step 3
Clean away soap residue and mildew staining, rinse as appropriate, and let the joint dry completely for the sealant maker’s required period.
Step 4
Mask both sides for the target bead width, cut the nozzle conservatively, and apply one continuous bead while maintaining steady pressure.
Step 5
Tool the bead once within the product’s open time, remove tape immediately, and avoid repeated passes that thin or tear the seal.
Step 6
Keep the joint dry and unused for the full cure time on the label, then inspect adhesion at corners and transitions.
Do not seal over an active plumbing leak, loose surround, mold-contaminated substrate, or water-damaged wall. Shut off water if inspection exposes plumbing, and consult a licensed plumber or qualified remediation professional when the source is uncertain.
